I count the awareness that IV has created in the community about our issues among one of the successes of this organization. If "do-nothing" people like viva and his posse can spend so much time on our website that is an achievement. Per Gandhi's continuum we are in the 2nd/3rd stage:D

Probably most of you are aware of these things. So, let me say this advice is for newbies in the job. Lay-offs are done for business reasons and cost considerations. An American friend of mine lost his managerial job after 18 years of loyalty and experience. Company did not see the reason to continue to be in that business and the entire division related to the business was laid off. So working hard is good. Definitely a deserved trait. Do it for self-satisfaction, but not out of fear of loosing the job. At the same time, we should not be cloistered within the company working long hours. There are other things imprtant in life apart from the eight hours we spend at the office. I tend to my hobbies to keep my sanity after work. I look out for business indicators/news regarding how my company is doing. Good financial planning mandates savings around 6-12 months of living expenses which would lessen the impact of lay-off.;)
Yes I learnt this the hard way when I was fired from a fulltime job after working 4 years and contributing with a lot of hard work and dedication. I was fired in less than a minute and I was in 6th year of h1b. LOYALTY TO JOB MUST NOT BE FOR THE REASON THAT THEY HOLD YOUR VISA AND GREEN CARD. I moved out to consulting company and now work on %age and now I don't really care about being artificially loyal to any client. This is more healthy, resume gets built and you do not have to worry about losing your visa and status as long as you are in project, and as such changing projects is not difficult these days.
Most of the immigrants tend to be artificially inclined and have love and affection towards their companies just because Green card process is going on. Companies love to be cuddled by you but will not go out of their way for you.
The very reason logiclife and other folks started this group is because we are on our own. It is a fact that we are at no advantage with retrogression. Offcourse there are choices and one always has choices. Keeping quiet and accepting crap is not right. Whether we succeed or not, we must not accept crap as "fact of life". There is a saying "If you can walk, you can work".
I also agree that "working long hours + artificial loyalty" on h1b just for a GC is not proper reasoning for this cause. The actual reason behind this cause is a broken system that definitely needs too be fixed.

I would like to share my experience and it may help some people here.
My H1 was sponsored by company A when I was working with them on OPT. I paid $3000 for H1 filing and attorney fees and company A gave me the H1 approval notice only after I signed an agreement that I would work for atleast one year with them.
Afetr 1 month of my H1 approval, I got a better job offer from company B and I got the H1 transferred. I notified my client and company A who threatened to revoke my H1, take me to court etc etc. They also withheld 4 weeks of my pay.
After joining company B, I filed a complaint against company A with DOL that they withheld my salary and also they demanded H1 fees from me. After 2 weeks of that complaint, my salary was deposited into my account and DOL was looking into my complaint about H1 fees. This case finally got resolved last week after about 18 months, when DOL finally persuaded company A to pay $3000 back to me.
I would request everyone who is a victim of these blood sucking employers to
take every possible action against them. There's a very little chance that they would go to court because they are themselves involved in gross irregularities.
Hats off to you. We can clean these bodyshops if everyone follows this path.

I believe it will be the same old story. They will wait till last quarter and then will waste thousands of visa numbers because of their darn slow processing hands and we people will again start talking optimism from Oct 2010.
What happened to the IV's talk with USCICS on spillover policies? Does anybody know?
That seems to be the way where this is heading. Would this be another july fiasco?.

As per the current 'rules' EB1, EB2, EB3 are given EQUAL preference .... countrywise
My guess is that EB3 has more people in line - for the same reason that there are more people with Bachelors than those with PhDs.
If only USCIS/DHS give an accurate(!) number of apps in each category ... then we can make some informed decision instead of hoping for something like Jul 07.
Depending on what line we are in - we want that to move not slower (than others). And one of the fundamental concepts in queueing theory is that " as the system gets congested, servicing delay increases"
Like i read in friedman's book ... paraphrased - "If someone lost a job - the um-employment rate is not 5% or 10% - it is 100%"

SA 3275. Mr. LEVIN submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by him to the bill H.R. 3093, making appropriations for the Departments of Commerce and Justice, and Science, and Related Agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2008, and for other purposes; as follows:
At the appropriate place, insert the following:
SEC. __. ANNUAL REPORT ON DELAYED BACKGROUND CHECKS.
(a) In General.--Not later than 60 days after the end of each fiscal year, the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation shall submit a report to the congressional committees listed in subsection (b) that contains, with respect to the most recently completed fiscal year--
(1) a statistical analysis of the number of background checks processed and pending, including check requests in process at the time of the report and check requests that have been received but are not yet in process;
(2) the average time taken to complete each type of background check;
(3) a description of the efforts and progress made by the Director in addressing any delays in completing such background checks; and
(4) a description of the progress that has been made in automating files used in the name check process, including investigative files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
(b) Recipients.--The congressional committees listed in this subsection are--
(1) the Committee on the Judiciary of the Senate;
(2) the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs of the Senate;
(3) the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives; and
(4) the Committee on Homeland Security of the House of Representati
This does not go far enough to solve the problem. A lot more work is needed to get an immediate fix to the problem.

If the visitor develops some symptom, it could be because of some condition that originated in his/her country and the symptoms showed up now. Note that in this case the insurance will treat it as a pre-existing condition and the claims will be denied.
Remember that insurance companies make the determination only after a claim is made and not before the visitor is taken to a doctor. So please be aware of all scenarios before buying an insurance.
My suggestion is to get a medical checkup done in the home country for any hidden condition, get it treated if you are buying just an emergency insurance or declare the condition and buy an insurance that covers pre-existing case. Be aware that depending on the condition the premium could be high or if the condition requires treatment the insurance could be denied..

7+ years in US
Changed Employer in late 2004 and filed for GC. So my priority date is early 2005. Old Employer did not file GC so forced to leave him.
Now in retrogesstion. Employer takes lot of his share in the billing rate. If we need to go for a good billing rate, vendors think I'm new to US as I don't have GC. Lot many Dependents after getting GC started working and so supply for software professionals are more. Demand meets the supply and so the billing rate is down. Most of the vendors prefers only locals. Forced to take job whatever comes first.
Have a grown up child and she has to start his school. Well educated wife not able to work and wasting time and energy. Not able to decide other than being in US. Keep reading the forums and whenever some bill comes up hope rises, but all now in vain. From now will not expect or believe anything from US congress/senate until President signs it.

It is very easy to prove that USCIS did injustice to those with EB3 dates prior to 2004 or 2005 if they stick to the rule of FIFO.
If the first criteria is met, everyone with a PD older than the lastest EB3 ( I know some who got approved with EB3 PD Jan2007)approved so far should also be approved. Or USCIS should go and revoke the GC's to newer PD and allocate them to older PD in the EB category ( I don't like this option).
So let us dream and someday it will come true. If we scream soon our throat will go dry.
Peace...

Below is the text for Waivers.. My understanding is that if end Client gives a letter to DOL stating that they don't layoffs due to this H1B and it is a temp. labor requirement etc.. It is still harsh considering anti-immigration climate.. What is feared asked in a Visa interview will be asked by DOL for extensions. So, H1B can't be on an auto-pilot mode..
``(I) the employer with whom the H-1B nonimmigrant would be placed has not displaced, and does not intend to displace, a United States worker employed by the employer within the period beginning 180 days before and ending 180 days after the date of the placement of the nonimmigrant with the employer;
``(II) the H-1B nonimmigrant will not be controlled and supervised principally by the employer with whom the H-1B nonimmigrant would be placed; and
``(III) the placement of the H-1B nonimmigrant is not essentially an arrangement to provide labor for hire for the employer with whom the H-1B nonimmigrant will be placed.

Guys!
When you post about ability to pay RFE please specify your company size and how old your company is.
My employer has 2000 employees and was established very long time ago, right now they have financial difficulties and are loosing money. They pay much more then a prevailing wage. Although they are loosing money now, they\'ve been around for almost 100 years. Is the ability to pay will be an issue with USCIS?
I think maybe I should invoke AC21, to avoid ability to pay RFE?

The conventional wisdom, overall, in DC is that when it comes to Legal EB immigration, Republicans are our friends.
If you are an illegal Democrats are your friends.
These days, the dems and republicans have joined hands against illegal variety. There hasnt been a litmus test of legal immigration on Dems or Republicans. I dont think S 1932 was any indication on where congress stands on our issue. S 1932 was a budget reconcilation bill and they had bigger fish to fry: Budget reconcilation. In order to garner support from their own party, republican leadership had to drop immigration and other non budget related things from 1932. Tancredo and Smith can only have fun as long as there is tough opposition to any bill. On bills of like PACE having 60 senators and hopefully majority on board, Tancredo, Byrd, Smith and cheerleaders like him may not have bargaining power they had during 1932

EB3 I is going to have a long wait. I had applied for Canadian green card and had received it. At present i have EAD and AP. Is it worthwhile to go into consular processing and work in canada or apply for a blue card or think about Australia. If this sounds okay how should i proceed.

What is your PD? Your profile says you are July Filer and your labor approval date is in 2008. Maybe a typo? I think if your PD is before 2003 for EB-3 I, there is hope of getting GC by end of 2010. Otherwise, it could be a really long wait without any legislative changes.
